When lawyers attack

As former U.S. Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy aptly put it, the signatories of the lawyers’ statement seem to think “there is there is no difference between representing an accused criminal defendant entitled to counsel and volunteering their services to America’s enemies in wartime for the filing of offensive lawsuits against the United States.” And for some of them, the only client beyond the pale is George W. Bush. Unfortunately, the conservative lawyers who co-signed the statement are giving political cover for those who have chosen to ignore the legitimate concerns raised by Keep America Safe about terrorist lawyers working inside the Department of Justice on detainee issues.

No wonder polling shows the American public holds lawyers in such low esteem.
